Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Serious.

I'll just have to tell you off the top of the episode that we are missing a very important

member of the program and that is Atlas.

And I know you probably tune in and you see the Atlas cam, and you see my little

best friend, always at my feet in the studio.

But he's not here now.

Atlas at 15 and a half had a fall and couldn't get up and the vet said that it was time and so we've lost him and I am so incredibly sad. He was such a great dog and such a great partner

and my best friend and he was at my feet at every moment. He was in this studio, every podcast,

every episode. Anyway, this is what we have today, just his bowl and his collar and his leash,

a couple of milk bones. And so I just wanted to let you know I've read so many of your comments

and it has helped me so much in getting through this. Thank you so incredibly much. I'm going to do

another episode completely to tell you some of the things that were said that I think are really

helpful that I had never thought of before. And if it can help anybody else getting through the

loss of a puppy dog that is as special to them as Atlas was to me, then that will be worth it.

But today's episode is about Brian Walsh and Anna Walsh, because we're coming up on three years

since anyone has seen Anna Walsh alive or dead.

And now her husband, Brian Walsh alive or dead. And now her husband Brian Walsh is finally on trial for her murder.

And in the episode description, I am linking our full deep dive on this case. Everything you need to

know about Brian and Anna Walsh and what happened. Start to finish. It'll get you up to

speed right before the trial. And don't fret if you're fuzzy on the details. Let me remind you

why this case has haunted so many of us. The prosecutors in Deadham, Massachusetts, say that

Brian killed his beautiful wife, Anna, on New Year's, 2023, and then hacked her body into pieces
